Overview

The Intel NUC11TNHi5 Pro Mini PC packs a full desktop experience into a chassis small enough to mount behind a monitor or tuck into a shelf. At its core is an 11th Generation Intel Core i5-1135G7 quad-core processor with a base clock of 2.40 GHz and Turbo Boost up to 4.20 GHz, paired with 64GB of DDR4 3200 MHz memory. Storage duties are split between a 512GB NVMe SSD for fast boot and application loading and a 2TB hard drive for bulk file storage, giving users a practical balance of speed and capacity without external drives.

Connectivity is where this NUC truly distinguishes itself. Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 ports enable high-bandwidth peripherals and external storage, while dual HDMI 2.0b outputs and dual DisplayPort 1.4a via USB-C allow up to four monitors to run simultaneously — a standout feature for control rooms, trading desks, or multi-tasking professionals. Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 and Bluetooth 5.0 handle wireless duties, complemented by an Intel i225-LM Ethernet controller for wired networks. With TPM 2.0 security, a Kensington lock slot, and Windows 10 Pro pre-installed, the NUC11TNHi5 is configured for business deployment out of the box, backed by a two-year warranty and free tech support from Techno Intelligence.
